Re: How will windows 7 work in a old Gateway 2 MB computer thatcurrently has Vista Ultimate?
This is what I am told by email by Microsoft:
"The availability of Windows 7 Enterprise (Eval) 90-day Trial is
being extended to Dec 31, 2010. Intended primarily for IT pros,
the 90-day trial is the full-featured Enterprise SKU that will
enable any organization to explore, test hardware and
applications, perform pilot activities, and develop deployment
scenarios."
The link to download is here:
